M6 U3 Reading 阅读材料中英文对照版Hi, everyone. My name's Ma Li. I need some help with my homework--it's about cultural differences. Can I sit down and talk to you?Hi, Ma Li, I'm Waled from Brunei.And I'm Peter, from the UK. Nice to meet you.Nice to meet you, too. Can you tell me about some cultural differences you have found?Waled, why don't you tell her about the British teacher who opened the present as soon as he received it at the end-of-term ceremony?Oh, I already know about that one. My American friend Jack did the same thing.Well, it's what we do in the West. It's rude not to open a present when someone gives you one. We like to see how the person reacts. We think it's strange not to open it! What would be another cultural difference ... let me think. Well, I once went to an acquaintance's wedding in Korea and I was very surprised.Why was that?Well, they had a live hen and a rooster as a part of the wedding ceremony. Live chickens?Yes. Roosters are supposed to drive bad spirits away from the wedding ceremony, and hens are thought to ensure good luck for the marriage. During the ceremony, the hen laid an egg, and everyone congratulated the new couple because it was considered very lucky.That's interesting! In Brunei, at wedding receptions men and women have to sit in separate areas--the men with the bridegroom, and the women with the bride. Another difference is that while we serve food, soft drinks, tea and coffee, alcohol is not permitted at the wedding reception--in fact, alcohol is altogether prohibited in Brunei. And you probably wouldn't get much sleep if you lived near where a wedding reception was being held. That's because we play loud drums to celebrate the wedding for hours afterwards, and sometimeseven throughout the night!Throughout the night?Yeah, people get used to it.So what other things do you do in your country that are different from other countries, Waled?Well, you know in many countries people point with their first finger. However, in Brunei that can cause offence, so we use our thumb to point. It's quite funny watching the new foreign teachers trying to adjust to doing that. Another thing is, if you came to Brunei, you would have to take off your shoes before going into someone's house. Many foreigners have trouble getting accustomed to it.But what is really interesting is that there are sometimes great culturaldifferences even between native English speakers. I am always amazed at howAmericans are so different from us Brits. Even though we share the samelanguage--with different accents, of course-our customs are not always alike.Really?Yes. For example, I have fond childhood memories of Bonfire Night, but myAmerican friends are not familiar with that particular festival.Well, I'm not familiar with it either.Oh, it's a celebration that takes place on November 5th every year. Peoplelight large fires outside, and everyone gathers around and has a party. Thereare plenty of fireworks, and everyone eats hot dogs and other food that can becooked over the fire. It's great fun.Well, it's time for me to go. This has been a really interesting chat. I thinknow ! understand a lot more about different cultures and what is appropriatebehaviour. It's really helped me with my homework! ! hope we can talk againsoon. After all, learning about cultural differences is a good way to understandmore about each other. See you later!See you!Right, later!文化差异马莉：嗨，大家好。
